The Navarra Platform Against Macro-Farms staged a demonstration on Saturday to reject industrial livestock farming and demand a change in the model focused on “food sovereignty”.
The mobilization took place this afternoon in front of the Monument to the Fueros on Paseo Sarasate in Pamplona/Iruña, where a banner with the motto ‘STOP industrial livestock farming. They won’t shut us up.” Posters calling for support for rural areas and for food sovereignty have also been seen.
In a statement, the platform criticized that “with only 3% of the active population in rural areas in a very outdated sector with little success, the only preferred model so far is agribusiness which burns the land, poisons the water and makes the produce dizzy for thousands of miles to send back unhealthy, processed food of uncertain origin and prohibitive prices”.
As he said, “currently in Navarre, 75% of agricultural land is devoted to monoculture grain and animal feed.” “Only 25% of the cultivated land is used for agriculture. human nutrition“whose destination is “not to meet local food needs”, but are marketed to other countries. As for livestock, he noted that “we have more pigs than residents and their meat is mainly for the export is”. productions, such as sheep, the number of heads has halved in the last twenty years,” he stressed.
“This model of industrial and intensive food production is highly dependent on fossil fuels throughout the chain, as well as fertilizers and pesticides,” said the platform, which has warned of “the growing water pollution by nitrates in Navarra”. Despite the “loud increase in risks”, he criticized the fact that “new farms and biomethanisation centers for organic industrial waste are still being approved”.
Faced with this, has chosen “regulate markets and prices and reorganize the entire food system in an integral way, adapting our way of eating to the resources we have on our territory.” and a “determined transition to a more sustainable model based on agroecology, crop diversification and de- intensification, in which extensive farming linked to the land is practiced”.
